Race Face Handlebars

Race Face have a variety of Road and MTB bars between 30 and 100 pounds. A popular bar is the Next XC Low Riser Handlebar which is adds the technology of the Next LP crank to the original Low Riser bar. This bar has undergone destructive testing during development to ensure optimum strength. Made out of black directional carbon it comes in at a weight of 184g.

Theres also the Next XC SL Carbon Flat Handlebar using the same optimized carbon technology process, using a leading edge composite weave, to give high strength requirements at a very low weight. This bar has a reinforced stem anti-crush zone to reduce the possibility of stress risers where the stem meets bar which is the area in which most carbon bars fail. This is one of the most advanced carbon bars available today at 560mm width, with a bar diameter of 31.8mm and weight 125g.

Next there is the Race Face Evolve DH Handlebar which is highly engineering and yet at a reasonable price for performance. This is designed specifically for downhill and freeride to withstand the shocks and stresses. Its made from cold drawn, seamless alloy and butted for an optimal strength to weight ratio. Construction is wide and the taper offers more width (26") & increased stiffness. Bar diameters are 25.4 & 31.8mm at a weight of 280g or 340g.

The Race Face Evolve XC Flat Handlebar is built for cross country with a width of 23", 3 degree bend or 5 degree bend depending on bar diameter which can be 25.4mm or 31.8mm, weight is 150g or 160g.

In road bars there is the Cadence Compact Road, which shares the same design features of the Revolution road bar. The Compact road bar shares the same design features as the Cadence bar but in a more compact shape. Top features are: use of 6061 aluminum for good strength & fatigue life, internally butted tubing for an optimum strength to weight ratio, oversized clamp size (31.8) for increased stiffness & strength, anodized & shot peened for increased fatigue life. Double cable grooves for compatibility with main popular levers with a 132mm drop, 76mm reach and sizes of 38, 40, or 42cm in a bar diameter of 31.8mm and weight of 290g.

There is then the Next SL Carbon Road bar, designed using Race Face's optimized carbon technology process, engineered for road racers and riders wanting optimal performance. The shape is highly designed and tested comfort and is ideal for long rides. The carbon wrap gives torsional strength & vibration dampening, there's an oversized clamp at 31.8mm for strength and double cable grooves. Sizes are 40, 42, 44cm, with 142mm drop, 86mm reach, diameter: 31.8mm and weight 215g.
